Bricault, a Vancouver, Canada-based architect has completed designed a modern contemporary home design called the Brooks Avenue House which is located in Venice, California. Venice is the one few walk able neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
The architect’s client for this project needed more space to accommodate the needs of the growing family, but they are reluctant to leave their location. The architect design solution is to maintain and remodel their existing which is covers areas for about 2000 square foot, while creating a 1700 square foot addition and courtyard on the rear lane side. A main design driver is to create a seamless connection between the inside and the outside, with an ideal climate for much of the year, while eliminating the need for the air conditioning to this end, it is a central sculptural links which are located on the ground floor with the rooftop deck, while also doubling as a chimney to draw the cooling breezes through the living space.
A sequence of pivoting doors opens the living space to the courtyard on the main floor. While on the second floor, the windows food back and full-height exterior panels which is slide into the walls. A system of cedar battens serve as a shading device along much of the addition.

The volume of the new master bedroom extends out from the second story; it is creating a carport below. Visually tying together the courtyard greenery with the planted roof, its exterior is clad with a living wall system on three sides. All landscaping is fed with a combination of captured rainwater and recycled domestic greywater. The roof’s soft cape is divided between a highly productive vegetable garden and indigenous, low-maintenance grasses and shrubs. The roof also supports a solar panel array that is sufficient to meet household needs.
The house features a high-efficiency combination boiler, which supplies both radiant in-floor heating and domestic hot water. A hot water recirculation loop makes hot water available “on demand,” while reducing consumption. Other features include low-flush toilets and non-toxic, low-VOC finishes, which are used throughout the house.
